<h3 align="center">Contributing and Development</h3>
<p align="left">You don't have to stop here.&nbsp; Using ai.planet is just step 
one.&nbsp; You can also choose to develop with ai.planet.&nbsp; Since this is an 
OpenSource project, anyone can add new creatures, as Aaron Hochwimmer from New 
Zealand did with the Duck, or you can add new features, as Dushan Tcholich from 
Serbia did with DNA.&nbsp; You can write about ai.planet, as Dennis Murczak has 
done.&nbsp; Many others have tested, fixed, and visually enhanced this program. 
Your imagination is your limit!</p>

<center><h3>Editing Guidelines</h3></center>
Don't use a WYSIWYG editor to edit this document. They tend to mess around with the
code. Edit the HTML code directly, using a program like Windows Notepad, 1st Page
2000 or Arachnophilia. Keep the code structured, with tabstops and blank lines to
separate the logical parts of the page layout. If you insert pictures, tables or
the like, test the robustness of the layout in different screen resolutions and
window sizes.
<br><br>

Please use PNG graphics whenever possible. A good freeware viewer/converter
with great resizing and PNG saving quality is
<a href="http://www.irfanview.com" target="top"><font color="#0000ff">IrfanView</font></a>.
<br><br>

Version numbering scheme: For every major edit you made to the manual, increase the
".R" release number by one. If migrating the manual to another ai.planet version,
increase the main version number (same as ai.planet version) and reset the release
number to 1. Example: 0.98.R4 -> 0.99.R1
<br><br>

Also, don't forget to record your changes on this page under "Revision History"
and "About this Document" so we don't get confused about who did what.
